what is real

light reveals objects
yet masks stars
what is true under bright
is only a fragmented whole

real struck our feet in dark
what we dodge under light
arid leaves fall to survive
turn thorns of cactus

albeit same  protecting
delicate rose from pricks

Author notes

I can't dream any longer when reality has so many thorns.

    most of the times, dreams are just to escape from the pain, aren't they dad?

    All the best in the contest...
